A harvested prey-predator model with density-dependent maturation delay and stage structure for prey is proposed, where selective harvest effort on predator population is considered. Conditions which influence positiveness and boundedness of solutions of model system are analytically investigated. Criteria for existence of all equilibria and uniqueness of positive equilibrium are also studied. In order to discuss effects of maturation delay and harvesting on model dynamics, local stability analysis around all equilibria of the proposed model system is discussed due to variation of maturation delay and harvest effort level. Furthermore, global stability of positive equilibrium is investigated by utilizing an iterative technique. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to show consistency with theoretical analysis.

A differential-algebraic model system which considers a prey-predator system with stage structure for a predator and a harvest effort on the mature predator is proposed. By using the differential-algebraic system and bifurcation theories, the local stability and instability mechanism of the proposed model system are investigated. With the purpose of stabilizing the proposed model system at the positive equilibrium, a state feedback controller is designed. Finally, a numerical simulation is carried out to show the consistency with theoretical analysis and illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

We propose an ecoepidemiological prey predator model, where selective harvest effort on predator population is considered. Vaccination and taxation are introduced as control instruments, which are utilized to control number of susceptible prey population and protect predator population from overexploitation, respectively. Conditions which influence nonnegativity and boundedness of solutions are studied. Global stability analysis around disease-free equilibrium is discussed based on robust Bendixson criterion, which is theoretically beneficial to studying coexistence and interaction mechanism of population within harvested ecoepidemiological system. By using Pontryagin’s maximum principle, an optimal control strategy is derived to maximize the total discounted net economic revenue to society as well as protect prey population from infectious disease. Numerical simulations are carried out to show the consistency with theoretical analysis.

In this paper, we consider a predator-prey system with two time delays, which describes a prey–predator model with parental care for predators. The local stability of the positive equilibrium is analysed. By choosing the two time delays as the bifurcation parameter, the existence of Hopf bifurcation is studied. Numerical simulations show the positive equilibrium loses its stability via the Hopf bifurcation when the time delay increases beyond a threshold.

We proposed and analyzed a mathematical model dealing with two species of prey-predator system. It is assumed that the prey is a stage structure population consisting of two compartments known as immature prey and mature prey. It has a refuge capability as a defensive property against the predation. The existence, uniqueness, and boundedness of the solution of the proposed model are discussed. All the feasible equilibrium points are determined. The local and global stability analysis of them are investigated. The occurrence of local bifurcation (such as saddle node, transcritical, and pitchfork) near each of the equilibrium points is studied. Finally, numerical simulations are given to support the analytic results.

A prey-predator model with gestation delay, stage structure for predator, and selective harvesting effort on mature predator is proposed, where taxation is considered as a control instrument to protect the population resource in prey-predator biosystem from overexploitation. It shows that interior equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when the gestation delay is zero, and there is no periodic orbit within the interior of the first quadrant of state space around the interior equilibrium. An optimal harvesting policy can be obtained by virtue of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle without considering gestation delay; on the other hand, the interior equilibrium of model system loses as gestation delay increases through critical certain threshold, a phenomenon of Hopf bifurcation occurs, and a stable limit cycle corresponding to the periodic solution of model system is also observed. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to show consistency with theoretical analysis.

This paper discusses the discrete stage–structure prey-predator model involved in the Beddington–DeAngelis type of functional response described by differential equation systems proposed as three-dimensional systems. Furthermore, the predators are divided into two types of populations, namely, mature and immature, along with the prey population. The stability of all possible fixed points is demonstrated by solving our proposed model analytically using the standard lemma and topological properties, which give all possible properties to each fixed point. In the same manner, we identify three fixed points, which are as follows: the origin fixed point, which means there are no species; the axial fixed point, which means the prey population increases logistically with the absence of a predator one (mature and immature populations); and the positive fixed point, which signifies the coexistence of all species. We show that the numerical simulations part is used not only to plot the time series of fixed values, but also, to find and illustrate the theoretical results.

Prey-predator system is enormously complex and nonlinear interaction between species. Such complexity regularly requires development of new approaches which involves more factors in analysis of its population dynamics. In this paper, we formulate a modified Lotka-Volterra model that incorporates factors such as refuge prey and immigrants. We investigate the effects of refuge prey and immigrants by varying the refuge factor, with and without immigrants. The results show that with Holling’s type I functional response, the proposed model is asymptotically convergent when a refuge prey factor is introduced. Moreover, with Holling’s type II functional response, the proposed mathematical model is unstable and does not converge. However, with Holling’s type III functional response in a system, the proposed mathematical model is asymptotically stable. These results point out the following remarks: The effects of refuge prey on stability of the dynamical system vary depending on the type of functional response, and when the predator population increases, the likelihood of prey extinction declines when the proportion of preys in refuge population increases. Hence, the factor of refuge prey is crucial for controlling the population of the predator and obtaining balances between prey and predator in the ecosystem.

A prey-predator model with stage structure for prey and selective harvest effort on predator is proposed, in which gestation delay is considered and taxation is used as a control instrument to protect the population from overexploitation. It is established that when the discrete time delay is zero, the model system is stable around the interior equilibrium and an optimal harvesting policy is discussed with the help of Pontryagin's maximum principle; On the other hand, stability switch of the model system due to the variation of discrete time delay is also studied, which reveals that the discrete time delay has a destabilizing effect. As the discrete time delay increases through a certain threshold, a phenomenon of Hopf bifurcation occurs and a limit cycle corresponding to the periodic solution of model system is also observed. Numerical simulations are carried out to show the consistency with theoretical analysis.
